I have a old T3i at home that needed a modern pickup, and this lens serves the purpose perfectly. Image and build quality are amazing. The zoom ring is a bit heavy, but the focus ring is buttery smooth when you need it, making it a breeze to use manual focus. Only point against the lens is actually more of a Canon issue, but noteworthy nonetheless, in auto mode the camera has a tendency to use higher ISO compared to Canon lenses.

This lens is a great upgrade from a kit lens with a wonderfully functional zoom range. You have a tremendous creative freedom with the zoom range and relatively wide, though variable, aperture. My only complaint thus far is how slow the zoom is--it truly TRULY lags. That said, as long as you aren't trying to freeze the motion of birds (which you shouldn't be with this lens) it's fine. I still highly recommend it.

This is a fantastic lens! My fingers tend to hit the focus ring, but that's not really anything to ding it for, just something to be aware of. Given the same lighting conditions, the difference between a kit lens and this one, I can shoot the same shutter speeds with a lower ISO, which of course means a higher quality image. I'm using it at the 17mm range for some awesome time exposure shots of the night sky. With good light (of course) it does pretty well for some macro work. I'm using it on my t3i and it focuses fast and quietly. There are many reviews on youtube, so check them out and decide for yourself. Personally, this is my new, every-day lens. Nice work, Sigma!
I'm just starting but but the difference between this lens and the canon 18 to 55 kit lens is huge (I'm using a 80d canon). Not only is well made and feels like good quality, is also a very versatile lens. You can do almost any situation with this sigma, but don't expect magic, is a really good value but of course not the best in one thing is just really good in general. I will recommend 100% to anyone.

This lens is a tremendous value. Image quality, large maximum aperture, quiet and fast focus, all at a great price point. I couldn't be happier with this lens!
